Abstract Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed
rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

Lichens are symbiotic associations resulting from interactions among fungi (primary and
secondary mycobionts), algae and/or cyanobacteria (primary and secondary photobionts) …

Fungal diversity notes is one of the important journal series of fungal taxonomy that provide
detailed descriptions and illustrations of new fungal taxa, as well as providing new …

Ninety years after Zahlbruckner, we present the most recent update to the classification of
lichen fungi in the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota to genus level, with species numbers and …

The Lecanoromycetes is the largest class of lichenized Fungi, and one of the most species-
rich classes in the kingdom. Here we provide a multigene phylogenetic synthesis (using …

The lichen family Teloschistaceae is one of the larger families of lichenized fungi. Currently it
includes one very large heterogenous genus, Caloplaca, with some 1000 or more species …

Abstract The Xylariaceae (Sordariomycetes) comprise one of the largest and most diverse
families of Ascomycota, with at least 85 accepted genera and ca. 1343 accepted species. In …

Although classification at supra-specific ranks is inherently arbitrary, comparable taxonomic
ranks within clades can facilitate more consistent classifications and objective comparisons …

Fungi produce a vast number of secondary metabolites that shape their interactions with
other organisms and the environment. Characterizing the genes underpinning metabolite …

Adaptive radiations play key roles in the generation of biodiversity and biological novelty,
and therefore understanding the factors that drive them remains one of the most important …
